The Beginning

It's like the first jump you make out of a nest.
You start thinking, " Man, I should never have left, it was wonderful back there."
And Fear grips your heart, close to panic, you try to turn around. Only to find that it's impossible.
Gravity is already in motion and your wings don't seem to be working.
And you feel...
So
Lost.
And then an updraft lifts you and lifts you until you start thinking, "Hey, maybe this isn't so bad. I might like this..."
You learn to use your muscles a little bit, take care of yourself for once, and what do you know but that you're actually flying.
And you learn to trust those crazy updrafts and understand that there is such a thing as rhyme and reason after all.
But I?
I just jumped and I'm still just learning to "trust those crazy updrafts" and more importantly, trust the One who set them in motion.
Just like gravity.
